Idaho Wedding Filled with Style
The very coolest thing about this Idaho wedding…is the altar. I have never in my life seen anything quite as unique, quite as showstoppingly gorgeous. Photographed by the forever talented Stephanie Fay, the altar that this couple built is something that I KNOW you guys will be talking about for a long, long time. Plus, the wedding itself is a lesson in all things gorgeous so it was a no-brainer to share it today!
First up, the back story on that ridiculous ceremony space…
The wedding was held at Cortney’s parents house in Fruitland Idaho and was spectacular. Every little detail was carefully thought through. She wanted the wedding to be a rustic vintage theme. Her younger brother Caleb built the entire wood ceremony site. Cortney wanted the ceremony to feel as though the guests were sitting in a rustic church. The windows were evenly placed next to the chairs lining the outline of the ceremony. It felt as though the structure of the building was around you. Cortney had a yellow dresser (alter piece) symbolizing the start of their life together.
I mean…there are no words!! And that’s rare for me, as I can usually blab on and on about anything. I guess this is one of the first times on SMP that I’ve kind of been speechless! More to come in just a bit!
Update…I know that a lot of you wanted me to mention Sara and KC’s wedding as the above wedding wasn’t the first outdoor, wooden chapel that the wedding industry has seen. Sara and KC’s affair was GORGEOUS and I definitely don’t want to take away from that. But I do want to point out that throwing a wedding is often times all about re-inventing ideas and inspirations that are already out there.
Personally, I really hadn’t seen anything like this as I somehow missed Sara and KC’s affair. But, props to such an incredible couple (both couple’s really) for infusing such beauty into their day!

Wow. What a beautiful setting for a ceremony. That yellow altar/dresser just insists on attention and it is truly unique.
wow.
This is absolutely stunning! I have NEVER seen anything like this.
this wedding is amazing. love the alter. love it! it is truely beautiful.
please post more pictures!
O------ M--------G!!!!!!!
SO BEAUTIFUL! How original, and with a special meaning because it was built by her brother. So fantastic, love, love, love it!
Best brother ever award?!?! Amazingly creative and beautiful. I also love the veil and the bridesmaid dresses. Anyone know where to get those?
This is such a lovely wedding - here in Idaho! Of all places : )
I have seen something similar done with structures like these for the ceremony here: http://picasaweb.google.com/sara.hanks
I'm actually planning something like this but on a much smaller scale for my own wedding next year.
WOW wish I had a brother who could do this
How are these people so creative??? So amazing!
I love it when I see something totally new and creative!
I love it too! I do, however, think credit should be given to the first couple to do this whose photos graced the internet a while back. I come across their wedding quite often, so it makes me think perhaps this couple featured here used them as inspiration? If not, what a coincidence! The couple keep a blog: http://kcandsara.blogspot.com/
Holy crap. Can I live in there?
There. are. no. words.
OMG! I am totally feeling this look. The candle chandelier is so right now.
This took my breath away. Most of us try to be creative and unique... this exemplifies creativity. It's beautiful. Wonderful job.
This literally took my breath away. It's so unbelievably stunning!!!! It almost looks like a stage set rather than an alter which is a GREAT new perspective!!
agreeing with the prior comments. I've never seen anything like this and it's brilliant! Fabulous!
This is great! Truly unique.
this is super kool! I totally am lovin the inspiration from this couple and the kcandsara blog...I'm gonna get my bro on it right now...he's crafty :)
Stunning! What a beautiful job her brother did. I am kind of speechless too!!

Wow ... I love this AND the pictures. Someone please peel me away from the computer, cause I'm gonna be looking at this all night!
I love this SO much. wow!
There is no way around this.... That "outdoor" church is Fu@$%&g amazing!!!!!
I love Stef's work! She is amazing!
Cort- you are beautiful!
Let's not kid ourselves here. This couple did a great job - ripping off kc and sara's wedding: http://picasaweb.google.com/sara.hanks
this idea of an outdoor chapel was done some time before by the mentioned couple, Kc and Sara, and they should give them the credits. It's not nice to take somebody's credit like that. I think the author of SMP should give the proper credits mentioning Kc and Sara on the post, at least.
I don't think that anyone is taking anyone else's credit!!! This couple did their own interpretation of something and it turned out spectacular. A wedding is always about redefining what's already out there. Very few ideas are completely original it's just a matter of re-inventing something that is infused with your own little sparks. Sorry to be debbie downer, but let's just keep this thread about praising something really beautiful that a bride and groom did to celebrate their wedding.
beautiful...stunning....stephanie fay did it again!!
Wow! This is totally wild. What an interesting setup. So original.
SO charming and beautiful!
Can someone tell me where her headpiece is from? Love it!
I think this is such an amazing version of the "outdoor chapel" by K&S, After I run into their blog and photos, of course I wanted something similar. I am also going to make an outdoor chapel for my wedding but that does not mean I will be (copy and paste form the above comment) "ripping off kc and sara's wedding" I have blog about how amazing their wedding was several times, and using them as inspiration does not mean stealing from them.
That's what all this wedding planning is all about collecting inspiration and making your own personal version. Come on! why there has to be people that want to focus on "how's ideas was first" this is not a competition, we are here to collect inspiration to make our day even more beautiful.
I think this wedding is amazing, the couple's personality shines thought the pictures! SO ADORABLE! and what a crafty brother she has :)
Wow this argument about who did it first just goes to show where people's focus lies and why so many marriages end up in divorce...
KC and Sara chiming in here: We love it! Seriously honored to see people taking their own spins on the concept. Yellow dresser? Yes please!
Beautiful wedding!
However, credit is definitely due to the couple who most likely inspired this vision, KC & Sara. I saw their wedding photos on design sponge and was blown away and this is definitely a nice compliment to their idea. Inspiration is stemmed from everywhere and this should be taken as a form of flattery.
It's great to see another Idaho bride! Such an absolutely unique and charming wedding. I adore that acid yellow dresser! I want it for my bedroom :-)
